Follow-Up on Redundancy Clause and Voluntary Faculty Replacement

Hello Faculty,

This message follows up on questions raised during this week’s Faculty Association General Meeting regarding the Redundancy Clause in our Collective Agreement and its application to faculty members who volunteer to take redundancy in place of a colleague who has been declared redundant.

Faculty members who choose to volunteer in place of a colleague will be considered redundant themselves and will receive their full redundancy entitlement as outlined in Article 6 of the Collective Agreement. This entitlement includes a special compensation payment equal to one (1) month’s salary for each year of continuous service as a Faculty Member, with a minimum of three (3) months’ salary and a maximum of one (1) year’s salary.

For further details on how redundancies are applied, please refer to Article 6.3 of the Collective Agreement.

If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to the Faculty Association.  

Regards,

Mike Mayo, Faculty Relations Officer, Lethbridge Polytechnic Faculty Association
